Laparoscopic-assisted ovarian cystectomy with exteriorization is a minimally invasive procedure. However, applicability of this procedure for transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery is not well established. Herein, we describe our initial experience with isobaric (gasless) LESS-assisted extracorporeal cystectomy in management of selected adnexal tumors. Of 17 consecutive adne...
TMEM207 was first characterized as being an important molecule for the invasion activity of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma cells. In order to unravel the pathological properties of TMEM207, we generated several transgenic mouse lines, designated C57BL/6-Tg (ITF-TMEM207), in which murine TMEM207 was ectopically expressed under a truncated (by ~200 bp) proximal promoter of the murine intestin...

Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by adnexal neoplasms, particularly trichoepithelioma, cylindroma, and occasionally spiradenoma, which usually develop in second to third decades of life. We report this syndrome in a 16-year-old woman with tumors on face and scalp.

OBJECTIVE
The true incidence of ovarian tumors in children is unknown. Few studies beyond case reports and case series have been published concerning pediatric ovarian tumors. Herein we review a large number of ovarian tumor cases.
METHODS
The charts of 203 patients who presented with adnexal masses were reviewed.
RESULTS
The patient's ranged in age from 2 to 18 years (mean = 15.6 years), w...
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the efficiency and feasibility of single-port access transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted surgery in patients with large (>8cm) adnexal tumors and to present our initial experience.
METHODS
Twenty-two patients with presumably benign adnexal tumors who have undergone single-port access transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted surgery were enrolled. The procedure was performe...
